A facile approach to synthesize porous disordered carbon layers as energy storage units coating on graphene sheets to form interconnected frameworks by one‐step pyrolysis of the mixture of graphene oxide/polyaniline and KOH is presented. As effective energy storage units, these porous carbon layers play an important role in enhancing the electrochemical performances. The obtained porous carbon material exhibits a high specific surface area (2927 m² g^?1), hierarchical interconnected pores, moderate pore volume (1.78 cm³ g^?1), short ion diffusion paths, and a high nitrogen level (6 at%). It displays both unparalleled gravimetric (481 F g^?1) and outstanding volumetric capacitance (212 F cm^?3) in an aqueous electrolyte. More importantly, the assembled symmetrical supercapacitor delivers not only high gravimetric (25.7 Wh kg^?1 based on total mass of electroactive materials) but also high volumetric energy densities (11.3 Wh L^?1) in an aqueous electrolyte. Furthermore, the assembled asymmetric supercapacitor yields a maximum energy density up to 88 Wh kg^?1, which is, to the best of our knowledge, the highest value so far reported for carbon//MnO₂ asymmetric supercapacitors in aqueous electrolytes. Therefore, this novel carbon material holds great promise for potential applications in energy‐related technological fields.

Composites of polypyrrole (PPy) and Cladophora nanocellulose, reinforced with 8 μm‐thick chopped carbon filaments, can be used as electrode materials to obtain paper‐based energy‐storage devices with unprecedented performance at high charge and discharge rates. Charge capacities of more than 200 C g^?1 (PPy) are obtained for paper‐based electrodes at potential scan rates as high as 500 mV s^?1, whereas cell capacitances of ～60–70 F g^?1 (PPy) are reached for symmetric supercapacitor cells with capacitances up to 3.0 F (i.e.,0.48 F cm^?2) when charged to 0.6 V using current densities as high as 31 A g^?1 based on the PPy weight (i.e., 99 mA cm^?2). Energy and power densities of 1.75 Wh kg^?1 and 2.7 kW kg^?1, respectively, are obtained when normalized with respect to twice the PPy weight of the smaller electrode. No loss in cell capacitance is seen during charging/discharging at 7.7 A g^?1 (PPy) over 1500 cycles. It is proposed that the nonelectroactive carbon filaments decrease the contact resistances and the resistance of the reduced PPy composite. The present straightforward approach represents significant progress in the development of low‐cost and environmentally friendly paper‐based energy‐storage devices for high‐power applications.

Moreover, the temperature dependences of cyclic voltammetry curve polarization and specific capacitances are carefully investigated, and become more obvious and higher, respectively, with the increase of test temperature. These can be attributed to the components' synergetic effect assuring rich redox reactions, high conductivity as well as highly porous but robust architectures. This work provides a general, low‐cost route to produce high performance electrode materials for portable supercapacitor applications on a large scale.

In this paper, a novel freestanding core‐branch negative and positive electrode material through integrating trim aligned Fe₂O₃ nanoneedle arrays (Fe₂O₃ NNAs) is first proposed with typical mesoporous structures and NiCo₂O₄/Ni(OH)₂ hybrid nanosheet arrays (NiCo₂O₄/Ni(OH)₂ HNAs) on SiC nanowire (SiC NW) skeletons with outstanding resistance to oxidation and corrosion, good conductivity, and large‐specific surface area. The original built SiC NWs@Fe₂O₃ NNAs is validated to be a highly capacitive negative electrode (721 F g^?1 at 2 A g^?1, i.e., 1 F cm^?2 at 2.8 mA cm^?2), matching well with the similarly constructed SiC NWs@NiCo₂O₄/Ni(OH)₂ HNAs positive electrode (2580 F g^?1 at 4 A g^?1, i.e., 3.12 F cm^?2 at 4.8 mA cm^?2). Contributed by the uniquely engineered electrodes, a high‐performance asymmetric supercapacitor (ASC) is developed, which can exhibit a maximum energy density of 103 W h kg^?1 at a power density of 3.5 kW kg^?1, even when charging the device within 6.5 s, the energy density can still maintain as high as 45 W h kg^?1 at 26.1 kW kg^?1, and the ASC manifests long cycling lifespan with 86.6% capacitance retention even after 5000 cycles. This pioneering work not only offers an attractive strategy for rational construction of high‐performance SiC NW‐based nanostructured electrodes materials, but also provides a fresh route for manufacturing next‐generation high‐energy storage and conversion systems.     

Fullerene‐Based In Situ Doping of N and Fe into a 3D Cross‐Like Hierarchical Carbon Composite for High‐Performance Supercapacitors

Fullerene‐based carbons are promising electrode materials for supercapacitors due to their unique carbon structures and tunable architectures at the molecular level. By introducing various functional groups with many elements on the fullerene cages, diverse in situ metal/nonmetal‐doped carbon materials with enhanced pseudocapacitances and/or double layer capacitances can be prepared. In the present work, a fullerene derivative, ferrocenylpyrrolidine C₆₀, containing nitrogen and iron, is chosen as the only precursor. A unique microstructure is fabricated by a liquid–liquid interfacial precipitation process. Subsequently, a facile, one‐step annealing of the microstructure at different temperatures is performed. A series of in situ N and Fe‐codoped laminated 3D hierarchical carbon composites in the shape of a cross are successfully synthesized. The as‐prepared N and Fe‐codoped carbon material treated at 700 °C exhibits a high specific capacitance of 505.4 F g^?1 at 0.1 A g^?1. To the best knowledge, this is the highest supercapacitor capacitance based on fullerene electrode materials. The use of a fullerene derivative as an in‐situ doped carbon for applications in energy storage opens a new avenue for developing future synthetic strategies to extend the repertoire of electrode materials with high performance.     

Achieving High Rate Performance in Layered Hydroxide Supercapacitor Electrodes

Layered hydroxides (LHs) are promising supercapacitor electrode materials with high specific capacitances. However, they generally exhibit poor energy storage ability at high current densities due to their insulating nature. Nickel‐cobalt‐aluminum LHs are synthesized and chemically treated to form LHs with enhanced conductivity that results in greatly enhanced rate performances. The key role of chemical treatment is to enable the partial conversion of Co²⁺ to a more conductive Co³⁺ state that stimulates charge transfers. Simultaneously, the defects on the LHs caused by the selective etching of Al promoted the electrolyte diffusion within LHs. As a result, the LHs show a high specific capacitance of 738 F g^?1 at 30 A g^?1, which is 57.2% of 1289 F g^?1 at 1 A g^?1. The strategy provides a facile and effective method to achieve high performance LHs for supercapacitor electrode materials.     

High‐Performance Fiber‐Shaped All‐Solid‐State Asymmetric Supercapacitors Based on Ultrathin MnO2 Nanosheet/Carbon Fiber Cathodes for Wearable Electronics

Flexible fiber‐shaped supercapacitors have shown great potential in portable and wearable electronics. However, small specific capacitance and low operating voltage limit the practical application of fiber‐shaped supercapacitors in high energy density devices. Herein, direct growth of ultrathin MnO₂ nanosheet arrays on conductive carbon fibers with robust adhesion is exhibited, which exhibit a high specific capacitance of 634.5 F g^?1 at a current density of 2.5 A g^?1 and possess superior cycle stability. When MnO₂ nanosheet arrays on carbon fibers and graphene on carbon fibers are used as a positive electrode and a negative electrode, respectively, in an all‐solid‐state asymmetric supercapacitor (ASC), the ASC displays a high specific capacitance of 87.1 F g^?1 and an exceptional energy density of 27.2 Wh kg^?1. In addition, its capacitance retention reaches 95.2% over 3000 cycles, representing the excellent cyclic ability. The flexibility and mechanical stability of these ASCs are highlighted by the negligible degradation of their electrochemical performance even under severely bending states. Impressively, as‐prepared fiber‐shaped ASCs could successfully power a photodetector based on CdS nanowires without applying any external bias voltage. The excellent performance of all‐solid‐state ASCs opens up new opportunity for development of wearable and self‐powered nanodevices in near future.

To push the energy density limit of supercapacitors, a new class of electrode materials with favorable architectures is strongly needed. Binary metal sulfides hold great promise as an electrode material for high‐performance energy storage devices because they offer higher electrochemical activity and higher capacity than mono‐metal sulfides. Here, the rational design and fabrication of NiCo₂S₄ nanosheets supported on nitrogen‐doped carbon foams (NCF) is presented as a novel flexible electrode for supercapacitors. A facile two‐step method is developed for growth of NiCo₂S₄ nanosheets on NCF with robust adhesion, involving the growth of Ni‐Co precursor and subsequent conversion into NiCo₂S₄ nanosheets through sulfidation process. Benefiting from the compositional features and 3D electrode architectures, the NiCo₂S₄/NCF electrode exhibits greatly improved electrochemical performance with ultrahigh capacitance (877 F g^?1 at 20 A g^?1) and excellent cycling stability. Moreover, a binder‐free asymmetric supercapacitor device is also fabricated by using NiCo₂S₄/NCF as the positive electrode and ordered mesoporous carbon (OMC)/NCF as the negative electrode; this demonstrates high energy density (≈45.5 Wh kg^?1 at 512 W kg^?1).

CuO and Cu₂O are non‐noble transition metal oxide supercapacitive materials with high theoretical specific capacitances above 1800 F g^?1. In this work, by adjusting organic additives of a colloidal system, Cu, Cu₂O, and CuO are grown in situ on nickel foam. CuO exhibits a specific capacitance of 1355 F g^?1 at 2 A g^?1 in 3 m KOH, a value well above those of Cu and Cu₂O (<500 F g^?1), and is superior to other known CuO electrodes. The CuO electrode exhibits 70% of its initial capacity, and the Columbic efficiency remains ≈100% after 7000 cycles at 4 A g^?1. Cu₂O exhibits the worst electrochemical performance, mainly due to the inactive barrier layer forming on the surface. This work provides an efficient synthetic platform for both comparable supercapacitive studies and cost‐effective electrochemical energy storage applications.

The yarn‐type paper supercapacitor displays surprisingly enhanced electrochemical capacitance values, showing synergistic effect between rGO and SWNTs (500 times larger than performance of yarn‐type rGO‐coated paper supercapacitors). Coating rGO or/and SWNTs on KTP gives good morphology to the composite film, in which porosity increases and mean pore diameter decreases. The yarn‐type rGO/SWNT paper supercapacitor shows good mechanical strength, high flexibility, excellent electrochemical performance, and long‐life operation. The yarn‐type supercapacitor has an excellent electrochemical performance with a specific capacitance of 366 F g^?1 at scan rate of 25 mV s^?1 and high stability without any degradation in electrical performance up to 10 000 charge–discharge cycles. The average capacitance of rGO/SWNT@KTP yarn‐type supercapacitors is seven times higher than that of sheet‐type supercapacitors at scan rate of 500 mV s^?1. The lighting of a red light‐emitting diode (LED) is demonstrated by the yarn‐type paper supercapacitor without connecting supercapacitors in series.

Manganese oxide/carbon aerogel composite electrodes are prepared by a self‐limiting anodic‐electrochemical deposition of manganese oxide into a binder‐enriched carbon aerogel layer, drop‐cast on a graphite substrate, using 0.1 M Mn(CH₃COO)₂·4H₂O as the electrolyte. Manganese oxide grows in the form of thin nanofibers along the backbone of the carbon aerogel, leaving adequate working space for the electrolyte and enabling a fuller extent of the utilization of the manganese oxide to make the composite an outstanding supercapacitor electrode material. The manganese oxide is determined to be Mn₃O₄ with the Raman spectroscopy and high‐resolution transmission electron microscopy. The rectangularity of the cyclic‐voltammogram loops of the composite electrode is excellent and remains that way for scan rates up to a very‐high value of 500 mV s^?1, indicating extremely good redox reversibility and cycle efficiency. At a scan rate of 25 mV s^?1, the specific capacitance, as measured in 0.5 M Na₂SO₄ for a potential window of 0.1–0.9 V vs. Ag/AgCl, reaches a maximum value of 503 F g^?1 and experiences only a negligible decay of less than 1% at the 6000th cycle, implying an extraordinary cycling stability. The cycling efficiency is as high as 98% at a current density of 8 A g^?1 cm^?2, showing an almost‐ideal capacitive behavior. The power density reaches 48.5 kW kg^?1 and the energy density 21.6 W h kg^?1 at a scan rate of 500 mV s^?1, well above the specifications of current state‐of‐the‐art supercapacitors.

The honeycomb‐like structure of Co₉S₈@C composite is loosely adsorbed, with plentiful surface area and high conductivity, leading to improved Faradaic processes across the interface and enhanced redox reactions at active Co₉S₈ sites. Therefore, the heterostructure‐fabricated hybrid supercapacitor, using activated carbon as the counter electrode, demonstrates a high energy density of 58 Wh kg^‐1 at the power density of 1000 W kg^‐1. Even under an ultrahigh power density of 17 200 W kg^‐1, its energy density maintains ≈38 Wh kg^‐1. The hybrid supercapacitor also exhibits suitable cycling stability, with ≈90% capacity retention after 10 000 continuous cycles at the current density of 5 A g^‐1. This work presents a practical method for using MOFs as sacrificial templates to synthesize metal‐sulfides for highly efficient electrochemical energy storage.

Nature of FeSe2/N‐C Anode for High Performance Potassium Ion Hybrid Capacitor

Potassium ion hybrid capacitors have great potential for large‐scale energy devices, because of the high power density and low cost. However, their practical applications are hindered by their low energy density, as well as electrolyte decomposition and collector corrosion at high potential in potassium bis(fluoro‐sulfonyl)imide‐based electrolyte. Therefore, anode materials with high capacity, a suitable voltage platform, and stability become a key factor. Here, N‐doping carbon‐coated FeSe₂ clusters are demonstrated as the anode material for a hybrid capacitor, delivering a reversible capacity of 295 mAh g^?1 at 100 mA g^?1 over 100 cycles and a high rate capability of 158 mAh g^?1 at 2000 mA g^?1 over 2000 cycles. Meanwhile, through density functional theory calculations, in situ X‐ray diffraction, and ex situ transmission electron microscopy, the evolution of FeSe₂ to Fe₃Se₄ for the electrochemical reaction mechanism is successfully revealed. The battery‐supercapacitor hybrid using commercial activated carbon as the cathode and FeSe₂/N‐C as the anode is obtained. It delivers a high energy density of 230 Wh kg^?1 and a power density of 920 W kg^?1 (the energy density and power density are calculated based on the total mass of active materials in the anode and cathode).

Highly porous carbide‐derived carbon (CDC) mesofoams (DUT‐70) are prepared by nanocasting of mesocellular silica foams with a polycarbosilane precursor. Ceramic conversion followed by silica removal and high‐temperature chlorine treatment yields CDCs with a hierarchical micro‐mesopore arrangement. This new type of polymer‐based CDC is characterized by specific surface areas as high as 2700 m² g^?1, coupled with ultrahigh micro‐ and mesopore volumes up to 2.6 cm³ g^?1. The relationship between synthesis conditions and the properties of the resulting carbon materials is described in detail, allowing precise control of the properties of DUT‐70. Since the hierarchical pore system ensures both efficient mass transfer and high capacities, the novel CDC shows outstanding performance as an electrode material in electrochemical double‐layer capacitors (EDLCs) with specific capacities above 240 F g^?1 when measured in a symmetrical two‐electrode configuration. Remarkable capacities of 175 F g^?1 can be retained even at high current densities of 20 A g^?1 as a result of the enhanced ion‐transport pathways provided by the cellular mesostructure. Moreover, DUT‐70 can be infiltrated with sulfur and host the active material in lithium–sulfur battery cathodes. Reversible capacities of 790 mAh g^?1 are achieved at a current rate of C/10 after 100 cycles, which renders DUT‐70 an ideal support material for electrochemical energy‐storage applications.
